Good... now that we are rolling... next thing i had in mind was
25% performance, 25% cost, 25% look, and 25% on practicality (noise, ease of use, mounting whatever that makes it more suitable for use)
This will put unequal type of components more in line for advantage /vs disadvantage. Rotary will be loud which will kill some of practicality while raging on on performance, hermatic in general will go the other way around, etc.
Also, bit of attnetion to detail will show up as maybe the last edge you need to make it to the ranks
Another thing is volunteer for judge panel.
Also, need some consistant method of measuring the load. I don't expect competition to hold 200w per say... that will just about kill most of people despite R134a has great capacity capability. Thinking more in line of 150w load for this and some standarized method of putting heat on. Maybe your CPU with certain voltage and certain overclock can be accounted as 150w if you don't want to get into load tester making.
Cost of unit, I will exclude price of refrigerant as R-134a is going to be universal. Also, most of tool cost will be excluded as that will make the idea of budget phase change nearly impossible... (there are no real budget tools for this... -_-) This part, I will need heavy discussion as it can really uneven playing ground when you have much better and varied tools.
Noise measuring can be done somewhat easily once we set up standard method of such... maybe passing around db meter between competitor might not be bad idea with recorded clip to see which type of noise the unit produce.
Looks we just can't hide it.
That is just generalization... now let's get down to nitty gritty one at a time until we settle things down.
#1. What kind of tools should be permitted and what would not be?
